Each of us wants something different from a book, of course. this
one, directed toward teachers and parents, gives good instruction for
using the iPad with Braille and qwerty keyboards, stressing that
students will need additional devices if they want to use the iPad
for tasks like writing termpapers. it is not a tutorial with lesson
by lesson presentation and detailed exercises, although a creative
person could devise her own exercises. Often the user is told to
turn off the on-screen keyboard while performing tasks like adding to
contacts, then to go to a new field and double tap to edit text. I
am curious as to why I would want to turn off the keyboard, only to
(I suppose) reactivate it immediately by double tapping on the next text field.
I would have liked more description of the screen from a blind
person's point of view--an explanation on the music screen that there
are two active parts of the screen, not just one, and you can
inadvertently shoot yourself in the foot by crossing to another
section. And is there a way to get back to the album when the tabs
at the bottom of the screen say 'album', but only songs are
listed. I am probably showing my ignorance more than anything. the
author knows his material well, but his information seems to me to be
directed toward people who can see the screen, rather than to people who can't.
